Ottimino
Ottimino produces Zinfandel from Sonoma County's North Coast, drawing on vineyard sites across the region. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions: Von Weidlich Vineyard Zinfandel, Ottimino Vineyard Zinfandel, and Biglieri Vineyard Zinfandel. Each wine captures the character of its source, with Zinfandel's signature dark fruit intensity and structural depth. Wine Enthusiast has rated these bottlings, recognizing their quality. The focus on Zinfandel—a grape that thrives in Sonoma's warm, well-drained soils—allows Ottimino to explore how specific vineyard sites shape the varietal's expression. The winery's approach emphasizes terroir distinction through single-vineyard bottlings rather than blended cuvées.
